You wake up and it’s a dystopian end of the world nightmare. Most people dead. No electricity. Maybe zombies. Definitely cannibals and gangs of thief’s roaming the cities. What weapons and what tactics do you use to survive? Do you go rogue hunting inna woods alone? Do you find people to team up with and form your own gang?
a hammer, simple as
I chill in my house and watch cooking shows until the power and water goes out
>tfw life and living comes on but there's homies at the door
I LOVE ZOMBOID!!!!
so tiresome to see you 2021+ newbies fricking flooding the game 2000-3000 players and now it’s fricking 60k peak with 30-40k daily
You never even played b40, you wouldn’t get to enjoy crowbar being one handed, instant jawstab butter knife sprees, being able to survive cdda without starving or tripping.
so please if you only played the game in b41 and are ESL then frick off.
Now we’re on the path of getting fake and gay “NPCs” which are just simple animal AI.. THANKS TO YOU.
>ESL
inclusion of this word means nothing you say is meant to be serious
witness this purchase history, then promptly eat shit
I would totally survive 🙂 I am the main character
My house is already secure at the rear with a brick wall, I'd just need to secure the front side, my balcony is a good vantage point for keeping watch, I'd maybe have enough resources to last a month before shit gets dire and I'd need to head out. The problem is that I'd need at least one person defending the home from squatters while I go out to gather resources. If I lose my home, I lose my only territory in this now-anarchy filled world and its all over.
Mk23 + Benelli M4 is all I need.
Silent.
Reusable, easily crafted ammo.
Accurate.
Durable.
>Silent.
No.
>Reusable, easily crafted ammo
Anything your craft in the field would shatter from the force of acceleration.
>Accurate.
About as accurate as a handgun.
>Durable.
About 1000 shots for high quality string then good luck finding a replacement.
you dont actually own a crossbow do you.
You don't actually own a crossbow.
he doesn't realise that even a $200 piece of shit these days will robin hood every single time at 30 yards if you know how to hit a goddamn thing at all
I will just become a male prostitute and have my pimp do the protecting. carry a snub nose .38 while dealing with "clients" just incase.
Unironically the most viable plan itt
I would make sure my family is safe, then chill out at home and take stock of events from there.
Being in Australia I doubt my neighbours are armed or very dangerous, the biggest challenge would be securing fresh water and food.
Either way, with a .22, a 12 gauge, and an old Mauser I should be pretty well set for the basics.
> Australia
The last safe haven in the world, and probably least likely to fall apart.
Otherwise, it'll be Mad Max all the way
I dunno, without public services there would likely be bushfires that spread out of control even in suburban areas. That shit would very quickly turn people against one another as they try to find refuge, food, and water.
Places with the least armed populaces are going to have the worst slaughters, dipshit.
Not old mate with the Adler but another armed Ausgay.
Correct. Which is why I'm armed but most of my shit already buried, cached and squared away.
Gun safe only has 1 SxS, 1 .308 and 1 .22
Even my ammo has been cached and buried with other supplies in various national parks
Maximum penalty in my state for failure to surrender is 2 years. With a clean record etc I doubt I'd ever see the inside of a jail cell.
The ends justify the means.

Tactical knife
Katana
Remington 700
I'm not the main character. I'm dead before it happens
Stolen nuke attached to a motorcycle where a side car would be and a Dead Man's Switch that'll cause it to go off with a fireball out to a half-square-mile radius with blast damage going out to three miles.
Sounds like you have poor impulse control.
He probably pesters underage girls for sex, too.
Snow Crash was a great book
I'd probably just do what they did at the end of the Bronze Age when human civilization collapsed and just retreat into the mountains and away from shores and major cities.
So the biggest problem I have is water. While I don’t consider myself a prepped a lot of the hobbies my wife and I got into really lend themselves to it…. We garden a lot and in a crash situation I think we’d stand a reasonable chance at amping it up to enough to live off of instead of just for fun…. We got into canning and have the tools to do so along with a lot of practice… in all honesty this is my backup plan if a freezer dies… can all my meat before it spoils…. I shoot pretty regularly and while I don’t have the gear to fend off an army, I’ve got a couple of pistols, revolvers, a shotgun and a 22 rifle along with about 5k rounds of 22 and about 2k total of the rest mixed together…. If I can figure out the water supply (live in northern arizona) then we really have pretty much all we need to bunker down and ride it out… also have solar panels on the house so we’d likely have some electricity…. If we went to emergency rations I think we reasonably could stretch what we have for about 3-4 months amoung me, my wife and 3 kids… they would not be fun months… but we wouldn’t starve to death…. Also I have a neighbor who is somewhat of a prepper who I’m sure would happily team up with us and my wife’s a nurse practitioner so we’re better off than average in the medical department….
I head to the local police station and swear fealty to the new local warlord, soliciting a position in his retinue as a metalworker. A lack of electricity complicates things but there are still plenty of things I know how to do without it.
>What weapons
Boring but realistic answer. 22lr and 12 gauge pump
For the tactic I'm thinking human rat. I am in the exurbs. Plenty of houses around but they are spread out and surrounded by woods and fields. I'll sneak from house to house scavenging for food and bullets. I'll live in a house for a few days to a few weeks until the food is gone. I will hide in the attic or crawlspace when other looters or the helicopter comes around. I don't want a fight. I just want to live inside your walls eating your cans of bush's baked beans.
For weapons I'll probably pack light unless there's a constant threat. I'll use my 9mm handgun (self defense) and my 22lr handgun (small game and plinking stop signs). I'll stash my ar15, 308 and my 12 gauge somewhere if I need them. I don't want to carry that shit around all the time though if I am B&E. I want to be able to climb, crawl, jump and run without a big metal stick getting in the way. Melee weapon is a crowbar 🙂
Glock.
My dick
Just a couple Glock 9mm pistols. Two will basically last forever. I can conceal them, I can carry them on foot many miles every day without fatigue, I can defend myself with them, I can find ammo for them anywhere and carry a large quantity of it, I can hunt with them more effectively than with a modern compound bow, and I could even drive off a small raider force in a close range environment like a forest. I don't need anything else and I wouldn't carry anything heavier without an automobile.

A gigolos gotta do what a gigolos gotta do
I wake up every day and it's a dystopian nightmare.
I would find a big tiddy 5' 2" thick goth motorcycle riding gamer librarian gun owning badass zombie fighting gf and we would fight zombies together. How would I find her? The playing field is narrowed quite a bit in this scenario so I think my chances are pretty good.
>implying she'd go for a balding autist who only survived by cowering in a hole
I go to the woods for plants and meat.
I need an AR with a scope for big game and a shotgun for small game.
ideology and total warfare
I seriously doubt all of that can happen in the 3-4 hours I sleep
metal pole or pipe with knife for melee
shepherd slingshot for ranged
long sleeve shirt with wrapped in duct tape and elbow pads to protect from bites
football or baseball helmet
hole up in a 2 or 3 storey house and barricade the stairs and all windows. only way in is by climbing on a specific booby trapped window.
grow weed and only raise poultry
I need a biological weapon and some nukes. My strategy will be to create this end of the world.
Words are my most dangerous weapon, followed closely by thoughts
I feel like in a zombie apocalypse a sledgehammer would be the best weapon you could have. It wouldn't get stuck and even if you missed the head it would be enough pressure to knock a zombie to the ground easy, I can't think of a better melee weapon besides maybe a metal baseball bat but even that would probably bend over time
Windup time will get you killed. A decent prybar has equal utility and marginally better killing potential.
The current AR-15 and Glock meta will not change in the zombie apocalypse. Available ammo, available parts, effective, durable.
Castles won out in history. People need safety, rest, food, sightlines, etc. None of that changes, just the fortification designs to account for morons with the world's last tub of tannerite.
>Windup time will get you killed. A decent prybar has equal utility and marginally better killing potential.
Im thinking more in terms of slow shambling zombies, not LFD zombies
>weighs a lot

thats good

Fricking good for opening doors, though.
I think some guy with a 10-22 and drum mags could do some serious damage to a zombie hoard
Secure the local oil depot, hire guys as guards using sale of fuel.
Use the primary currency of fuel and food to expand control, establishing a monopoly violence with obedience from the population due to the unstated rule that we provide them with security, but demand 40% of all the food and resources they scavange or produce.
Once the population we control gets over a few thousand, the volume of wealth and resources generated from those taxes will be unimaginable allowing us to build hospitals, schools, railways, this provision will reduce the amount of guards we need for local population because they will become complacent and dependants. Then the taxes can be used to form an offensive and formalised military to take over new territory , rinse repeat
Unironically what Rick is using since it's more versatile than semi-autos and I'm not lugging around a rifle everywhere.
he is literally me
>Do you find people to team up with and form your own gang?
Anyone who's not already "teamed up" long before the breakdown of order is dead.
Second choice a mil-spec AR with A2 furniture. Irons or an Aimpoint, nothing else.
Becker BK2 for knife
If it's end of the world I would hide out at my grandma's secluded house as she has solar and grows her own food. Zombies same thing but if its Train to Busan type zombies I'd probably just kill myself.
